To all whom may concern:

y113e, it known thatLH'nNnY B. HEYMAN, a citizen 'of the United States, and a resi- 'dent ofthe boroughfof Manhattan, county of NewYork, city and State of New York, have-invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Garter Packages, set forth in the following speciiication This invention relates to the packaging of y, garters. TIT/he objectofthe invention is to provide agarter package, involving more' particularly high-class yexpensive garters,

whereby an attractive display of substantiallyi the entire garter,inside and outside, is made, Land more vparticularly whereby each; garter is maintained as aJpart'of a ackage in such away as not to sufferinjuryfrom sharpbends.rv

It has been found, in connection with packaging of articles of this character, that `a permanent set is imparted to the rubber elastic corresponding to the packaged configuration ofthe article. lf this permanent set involves a sharp bend, the article has not only been injured by the package, but its semi-dead impaired character of the elastic is immediately patent to a would be purchaser upon inspection.

`Emphasis therefore, should be directed to the dual purpose of this invention, namely, the maintenance of the packaged garters so that relatively long lapse of time in the packaged position cannot injure themxand in addition so that their uninjured condition shall be patent to a purchaser upon casual inspection which does not necessitate handling.

A further object of this invention is to Y arrange the' mounting of pairs of garters in such a way that the individual pair units of ,the garter package will lend themselves readily tomultiple packaging and to boxing. The above and further objects of the invention will better be understood by reference to the illustrative embodiment of my y invention described in the following speci- Fig. 2 is an end elevation of Ythestructure showing Figure 1;

Fig. 3 isa plan viewfof one of the package units of Figures l and 2 arranged in a box, with the cover removed;

Fig. 4 is a section through the plane of line- IV-QIVjlooking in the direction of arrows and inpart shown in elevation;

Fig. 5 is a section through the plane of lineV-V of Figure 3 looking in the direction ofthe arrows and with parts shown in elevation; and i Fig. 6' is a detailed section through the plane of line VI-VI of Figure 4, the same being drawn to an enlarged scale.

This inventionvv is ap" licable solely *to gar-.ters of the so-called round l type, and particularly to those of an expensive, `highly ornamental character.

A card mount A of cardboard, preferably rectangular, is die Vcut to provide two pairs, l, l, and 2, 2 of gripping tabs. The tabs 1 extend inwardly from the side 3 of the card A, and the tabs 2 extend inwardly from the side 4. The tabs of each pair such as l, l, are spaced apart a distance materially less than the major elliptical diameter A of the garter to be mounted. Each gar-` ter is iiattened somewhat, so that the fiattened part 5 can be and is gripped to the card mount A by taking it under the tabs shown in the Figure 6.

This leaves a parallel flattened part,y

comprise as many packages as desired. Particularly when in this tier arrangement it is important that any accidental displacement of a garter not result in the garter slipping out of the tier. To this end, the inward extension of the tabs l and 2 is important as it prevents an outward accidental displacement of a garter. This prevention against outward displacement is also` important when the packages are displayed on a notion counter. Purchasers passing by and brushing against the articles cannot readily cause one of the garters to slip of? its card and on to the floor. If it is causedl to slip' out ofjthe tabs its movement must be inward.

This mounting package lends itselt readily to highly7 ornamental garters. For

example, the pair of garters B, shown in the drawings not only embodies the elastic webbing 10 and an enclosing ornamental fabric 11 but also are provided with ornamental` lace 12.

In Figures 3, 4 and 5, the garter package is shown boxed one-unit to a package 13, having anA ordinary cover 14. Upon the removal of the cover 14, the package-,With

What I. claiml and desire to secure byr United StatesLette'rs Patenti is 1. A, garter package comprising ar pair of' round garters free from any sharp bend throughout the full extent of each garter and each garter being in the form ot' anelliptical band having-afiattened sidc portion intermediate the ends of itsmajor diameter, in combination Wit-l1 a flat card mount arranged at right angles to the elliptical" conigur'ationV of said garter-s and with said garters out-standing from the face ol' said card-mount and being positioned substantially in` free outside and inside display, said mount having two pairs of tabs, the tabs ot' each pair being spaced apart materially less than' the major diameter of the elliptical contour of .sa-id garter and gripping only said,lattenedportion of said garter to saidy mount and holding the whole garter free from sharp bends in outstanding display.

2. The combination structure described in claim l, and further characterized. by the factthatsaid tabs extend.inwardly7 from opposite; edges of said mount` to prevent accidental displacement of a garter out- Wardly.

In. Witness whereof, I have signed my name to this specification thisA 22nd day of June, 1925.
